This May 29th will mark the 70th anniversary of the publishing of Norman Rockwell’s iconic “Rosie the Riveter” painting on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post (published May 29th, 1943). “Rosie the Riveter” inspired a social movement that increased the number of working American women. From 1940 – 1944 the number of women in America rose from 12 million to 20 million.
